4 bed detached house for sale

Polvillion Road, Fowey PL23

Unexpectedly spacious family home located just a ten minute walk along st catherine's parade to the beach with 'wow factor' open plan living. Previously utilised as a successful B&B with driveway parking for several vehicles including a motorhome.

A superb coastal residence that blends timeless appeal with flexible, modern living. This substantial four-bedroom detached home sits in a peaceful position in the sought-after town of Fowey. Originating as a 1920s bungalow, it has been thoughtfully extended over the years, most recently in 2015, to create a bright and expansive open-plan living space that forms the heart of the home. Here, a well-appointed kitchen flows seamlessly into a living and entertaining area, where a feature wood-burning stove provides a welcoming focal point. Bi-fold doors open to the private rear garden, inviting the outdoors in and creating an inviting space for relaxed family life or sophisticated entertaining.

Although understated from the road the inside is much more than expected. You are welcomed by an entrance porch that leads naturally into a very spacious room with very high ceiling accentuating the feeling of space. This room is currently used as a dining area but could equally be used as a living room. The room also hosts a useful home office area that can be shut away when not used. The ground floor also accommodates two double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room and its own external access door, offering versatility for guest accommodation or a teen suite. These two rooms have historically been let separately on a B&B basis, reflecting the flexible versatility of the layout.

The contemporary open-plan living area is the true showpiece of the home. The kitchen is equipped with a large island that provides additional workspace and casual breakfast bar dining with the room opening out to a dining and sitting/entertaining space - all arranged to maximise sociable living. A wood-burning stove adds warmth and charm, and the bi-fold doors create a seamless transition to the garden, making the indoors and outdoors feel connected even on cooler evenings. The main open-plan living area benefits from underfloor heating, enhancing comfort and efficiency. Again this room benefits from a very high ceiling and roof light

A practical utility room sits adjacent along with a separate downstairs WC, enhancing everyday convenience. Upstairs, the remaining accommodation comprises two further double bedrooms, both of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms, ensuring privacy and comfort for family and guests alike. The master bedroom is particularly impressive; its expansive ensuite includes a built-in steam room and a separate bath housed within the bedroom itself, reflecting a luxurious touch that elevates daily living.

Outside, the property sits within very private gardens designed to capture sun at various times of the day and into the evening-a rare and valued feature in Fowey. Multiple sunlit corners provide ideal spots for relaxing, al fresco dining, or simply soaking up the coastal ambience. Two useful outbuildings offer further flexibility: A workshop and a summer house, while a wood store provides ready accommodation for logs to fuel the wood burner. Driveway parking is plentiful, with space for several cars and for a motorhome, ensuring that the parking practicalities are well catered for.

This home combines the charm and character of its 1920s origins with the contemporary comfort of a modern extension. Its coastal setting, paired with generous, flexible accommodation and private outdoor spaces, make it a highly appealing proposition for families, discerning guests, or buyers seeking a stylish home with potential for a variety of uses.
